I bet you. a show that stops my dog from barking at the tv was kitchen Nightnares
unless he ate one
before on the show
Is the forth or the firth
the right froth the write fourth
in this sentence
soz i was inspired by something
questions with answers within them
Like who famously wore a Sherlock Holmes hat?
would world war 3
be the next or the last one
soz just an idea im throwing about
When once my Kayleigh
And Bianca asked
Uncky Chris why is our sister
Schade treated different better
than us
I had to hide a tear welled and my
eye's glassed
As truthful the honest answer was
She is and was the blue eyed
golden child
And still today my replies both
hurts and stings
Because what is one to supposed
to say put in that situation
And given my beautiful niece's
are not fool's
Otherwise why would they have
felt the need to raise the question
And they do know as do i
My retort and response will
be a lie scrambling to pave over
They will never be treated the
same as the sister they refer
to as she called Princess
Because sadly she is the one
prized and loved most above
of them all
And thought i understand and
accept we all amongst us have
our favorites
Please dear god never make it
So damn patent
Children feel the need to ask
Jumping through no hoops today
Not meeting anyone else’s clock
Stubbornly doing whatever I want
And nothing else
Perhaps retirement is like this?
But ….
I would miss my people.
I am not ready.
Yes, I like this but if there is one thing
I have learned from sheltering in place
It is much more difficult to entertain thyself
When you are not around people
Doing crazy stuff
And I am not ready to give that up.
Not yet anyway.

Limit the minds ability to think
Perched they be upon pedestal stoop
Watching you run in this endless loop
Showing, Ye how emotions are linked
Talking to my wife about reincarnation
Creature be, be a creature sensation
Honestly what would you be
A cow your telling me
You obviously haven't been listening
.
Cheer knows the way
To walk the rough;
Charm wears a sway
That tames the tough.
Choice favours poise
In rain and shine;
Calm steady voice
Can make things fine.
Start with a smile
That work the maze;
Etch a fond style
To clear the haze.
Take things easy
As time brings change;
Touch feels query
In new and strange.
Be light of heart
When life brings pain;
Wear loving art
In sun and rain.
Do what you must
With pun and wit;
Live loving trust
Now bit by bit.

Singapore
too often i have ignored all that is right
which has caused me to miss out on my true and actual plight
alone i am now and one with webs and the dust
chapped and ashy i have become well on my way to rust
my mother once told me to loosen the noose of my shield
to late now do i see the world and the decorative grounds and fields
now i am an insomniac driven by a wayfaring loner's rage
i only have myself to blame for the rapidity in which i now age....
Some people love misery
And they create their own hell
The love to stir up trouble
Why they do it, it’s hard to tell
They have no happiness
They have no heart or soul
But most of all
They lack self control
They love to bully others
And hide behind a screen
Where they can spread the hate in their heart
Where they can not been seen
Their only agenda in life is to hurt
And cause others pain
Some do it in the name of God
And some do it to entertain
God will handle them in time
While they are looking to impress
Leave them to their own demise
Because they are obviously obsessed
